Compare phone number from database in different condition

I'm developing sms APP and want to receive sms from the specific numbers. But number can be changed sometime with country code as +923201234567 or sometime without country code 03201234567 how I can compare number from database? because don't know in which format number is saved in database(with country code or without country code)
public boolean isMember(String phone, long id){
String query = "SELECT * from members where phone = ? AND active = 1 AND gid = ?";
Cursor c = dbActions.rawQuery(query, new String[]{String.valueOf(phone), String.valueOf(id)});
return c.moveToFirst();
}
Suppose if the number is saved in database without country code 03201234567 then my requirement is to get true if I compare it with country code. +923201234567. Country code could be changed.
PhoneNumberUtils.compare(); is not useful because it not compare with database.

If you can't acquire the correct information always; then you need to look into heuristics.
Meaning: you could write your own comparisons; and when you encounter two numbers like:
03201234567
+923201234567
you can figure: their "tail" is equal; the only difference is that the first one starts with 0 (so no country code) and the second one with +92. So it might be reasonable to declare those two numbers to be equal.
So a "solution" would do things like "normalize" your input (remove all non-digit content; except for leading + signs); and to then make such "tail-bound" comparisons.
If that is "too" fuzzy; I guess then you should step back and describe the requirement that you actually try to resolve here. Why are you comparing numbers; and what do you intend to do with the output of that comparison?!

Normalize all of the phone numbers into the same format before you put them into the database. That way you can just do a normal db search.
The other thing I've done for phone numbers is to convert all letters into the appropriate number, then remove all non digits, then just compare the last 7 digits.

I write app for Android such gets data from server in JSON format. Now I get this value in string, but in my application it must look like:
Route:
1)first point
2)secon point
3).....
n) n point
I read that in Android in textView I can do it if string will be with html tags but I think it is not the best variant. After Android I must do it in iPhone now I don't know how to do that there. Send Routes as Array is not good variant too. Can you say what is the best way to decide this problem?

Have a look here you will have to find the good pattern .
Hence you have separated strings just use a list View with an ArrayAdapter.
I am not so good with regex but i think it should like : [1-9][0-9]) [[a-f][0-9]]+

I couldn't comment b/c of rep, sorry. Could you provide an example of returned JSON string. I think JSON format can be parsed with ease.
If this the case you can parse it in a loop (or another way. I'm not that good at it)
String[] parseIt (String JSON){
String[] list=JSON.split("\\d\\)");
String[] rlist=new String[list.length-1];
for(int i=0;i<list.length-1;i++){
rlist[i]=list[i+1].trim();
}
return rlist;
}
This might do trick. But you should edit result. I didn't test yet
Edit: I edited code. It simply return the address now with leading whitespace. You can get rid off them using. String trim() method like;
list[1].trim();
Do it in loop and don't care about first element (index 0).
Edit 2: Now it should work

Only get part of string in android?

Okay I wasn't really sure how to word this question, but basically what I want to do is, I got a url from a webView in android, and I need to put part of that url into a string, the url will look something like this: http://localhost/?code=4/3pakksajdfASDFwek.4nsKfAYN7XQVshQV0ieZDAp-PrgEcAI and I only want the part after code=, is that possible? Thanks

int start = my_string.indexOf("=");
String suffix = my_string.substring(start + 1);

If other parameters can be on the URL, or code is not always first parameter:
String url = "http://localhost/?code=4/3pakksajdfASDFwek.4nsKfAYN7XQVshQV0ieZDAp-PrgEcAI";
String code = url.replaceAll(".*(?:[?]|[&])code=([^&]+)","\1");
tests here: http://fiddle.re/nxfv

If you are totally sure the URL never has other form, you can use indexOf and substring.
Otherwise, it is better if you use URI class to extract out the query part of the URL (use getRawQuery just to be safe), then tokenize it with split along & character and find the correct key-value pair to obtain the correct value. This method is not as brittle as indexOf method above.

How to get a string from string.xml in android when constructing name at run time?

In my android app, I have a number of buttons in a grid (basically a 2-D array of components). When long pressing these components I need to display a string to the user, with each array location having different strings.
For an actual app where I am using this, please see :
RIFT Assistant : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gopalshalu.rift.assistant
In the app, start up a soul tree .
Question
Is there a way to dynamically formulate the name of string, and get the strings value.
Something like…
Int row = 0;
String target_string_name = “”;
for (int col=0;i<1;i++)
{
target_string_name = “teststring_” + row + “_” + col; // we have dynamically created the name
How do we get the actual string value here, using string name in target_string_name variable?
}
How do we get the actual string value here, using string name in target_string_name variable?
Example
String to be displayed when pressing grid location (0,0) - Hello, test string at 0,0
String to be displayed when pressing grid location (0,1) - World!.. test string at 0,1
I have a string.xml file, with the following naming convension:
<string name=’teststring_row_column’>string contents</string>
So, for the above example, the string.xml will look like:
<string name=”teststring_0_0”>Hello, test string at 0,0</string>
<string name=”teststring_0_1”>World!... test string at 0,1</string>
Thanks in advance for your time and responses.

If I understand you correctly, I believe you're looking for getIdentifier().
Here's a demonstration of its use.

I think you might consider making use of setTag() also if you want to associate a particular piece of data with a view. I also started a Rift Calculator (never finished) and for display the spell tooltips (I assume that's what you're doing?) I just associated the tooltip data with the tag for that view.

Linkify Android Transform Question

Trying to do something fairly simple.
Taking text like this
User Name: This is a comment I am making
It is in a single TextView. I want to make the User Name a link. I decided that the easiest thing would be to surround the User Name with something like "$#" so it becomes
"$#User Name:$# This is a comment I am making
That way I can use the following regular expression
Pattern userName = Pattern.compile(".*\\$#(.+)\\$#.*");
with Linkify and make it a link. However, clearly I need to remove the delimiters, so the following is the code
title.setText(titleText);
Linkify.TransformFilter transformer = new Linkify.TransformFilter() {
#Override
public String transformUrl(Matcher match, String url) {
return match.group(1);
}
};
Linkify.addLinks(title, userName, "content://user=", null, transformer);
For some reason however, the whole text becomes one giant link, and the text isn't being transformed at all.

It actually did turned out to be pretty easy. I ended up not using the crazy "$#" to delimit the username, instead sticking with just
User Name: This is a comment I am making
so I ended up using the following pattern
Pattern userName = Pattern.compile("(.+:)");
Very simple, and the code becomes just
title.setText(titleText);
Linkify.addLinks(title, GlobalUtil.userName, "user://" + userId + "/");
Thank you to nil for the original suggestion. I was indeed matching the whole string instead of just the userName which is the link.

My best guess is the regex you're using is the problem, where you're telling it to basically pick out the entire string if it matches, including everything before and after what you're looking for. So, the TransformFilter is probably being passed the entire matched string. transformUrl as far as I can tell expects you to return the URL, so the entire string is linked to the first match group.
So, with that in mind, it's probably in your best interest to change the regex to something along the lines of "\\$#(.+?)\\$#" (with an added ? in the group to make the match non-greedy) so as to avoid matching the entire string and just picking out the bit you want to URL-ize (for lack of a better term, plus adding -ize to words sounds cool).

Why not put the delimiters inside the pattern to change ?
Pattern userName = Pattern.compile(".*(\\$#.+\\$#).*");
Then change the transform filter to remove the start and end patterns when changing into the URL...
